chad-CS1465F-webThe new Chad Smith Free Floater (CS1465F) snare is a crowning achievement in true percussive perfection. Taking its name from the Latin term meaning “I Came, I Saw, I Conquered”, the drum’s three interchangeable 3mm rings are housed in Pearl’s Free Floating snare frame.

This not only allows for multiple tonal combinations when stacked in different order, but also for total resonant freedom from attachment hardware. “I’ve finally found MY sound,” Chad proclaims, “Three rings of power! This one does it ALL!”

Only 50 snares will be available in the US.

Available only for a short time, Chad’s new Limited snare is a drum that takes recording ‘in the Red’ seriously.
